UVERworld to play Tokyo Dome

Rock band UVERworld announced that they will perform their first concert at the Tokyo Dome later this year. Vocalist TAKUYA∞ broke the news during the band’s concert at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium on Sunday, which was the closing show of their tour that started in April.

Last month, UVERworld’s website started displaying a mysterious countdown to November 27, and some fans feared that it was hinting at the band’s breakup. However, it is now known that November 27 is the date of their Tokyo Dome concert.

UVERworld formed ten years ago and finally made their major label debut in 2005. Since then, their releases have ranked well on the sales charts, and they achieved their first #1 single in 2008 with “Hakanakumo Towa no Kanashi.”
